I was told I need to get him to apply for either SSN or ITIN because his salary is paid out of US. He travelled to the US for 8 days

If the worker is not a US citizen, permanent resident nor resident alien, and is working abroad, he is not liable for taxes in the US. He would need to provide you with a form W8BEN. Once you have that form, you do not withhold any taxes from his pay. If you pay him before receiving the form, you need to withhold taxes. Only in that case would he need to apply for an ITIN To receive a refund for the withheld taxes
